Since it takes electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision, to determine how many days would 32 electricians take to do the same job the following calculation must be performed:

36/32 = X

1.125 = X

1 = 24

0.125 = X

0.125 x 24 = X

3 = X

Therefore, the 32 electricians will take 1 day and 3 hours to complete the wiring.
